LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHERS: Fall Forward

Across Las Vegas, October will be full of signposts reminding you of resilience, awareness, solidarity, and achievement in the Black community. 

Throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Las Vegas Black Image will be part of the movement encouraging women to undergo regular medical screenings and engage healthcare professionals at the first sign of any unusual symptoms. 

(And that doesn’t mean that men are off the hook just because the month puts a focus on breast health. Our mission is to emphasize the importance of everyone taking proactive steps toward their health, advocating for regular check-ups and health consciousness for all.) 

Inside, you can read about how our efforts will be highlighted by the ninth annual Las Vegas Caravan for Mammogram, which the magazine is co-sponsoring on Oct. 4. 

Elsewhere in this edition of Las Vegas Black Image: 

● We reflect on Terence “Bud” Crawford’s triumph at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, where he became the undisputed super middleweight champion of the world and revitalized the sport of boxing with millions watching around the world. 

● In Community Speaks, readers weigh the importance of freedom of speech and expression and how it can foster dialogue and unity. 

● Take a look at Photos of the Month, where we showcase the lifestyles and personal stories that help define Las Vegas’ Black community. 

● Visit our Living section, which offers inspiration through home décor, culinary delights such as a recipe for sweet potato pie, and seasonal gardening tips — reminding us of the beauty and nurturing spirit within our community. 

The support of advertisers remains vital in sustaining the magazine’s mission to keep our voices alive. Gratitude is extended to those who consistently contribute, enabling Las Vegas Black Image Magazine to serve as a vital platform for information, inspiration, and community connection since 2008. 

Thanks to all of you, Las Vegas Black Image will continue to inspire and uplift. We express our deepest appreciation to our loyal readers, supporters, and contributors for making this journey more meaningful and impactful by the day.

Rise,
